Fourth Floor Common Room, Evening

As had become tradition for StuCo sponsored events, a large table was off to one side, covered with snacks and tubs of drinks.

The chairs and couches had all been pushed to the walls, leaving the center of the floor open for the whose ever turn it was.

Isabel rushed around collecting last minute ideas for things to be acted out.

Door's got a basic idea of how to get her clue across, but part of it's a little...complex. Still, she understands how it's an important part.

She starts out simply, though: she raises one arm as hiiiiiigh above her head as she can, and makes the hand into a long wedge. Fingers on top and thumb on bottom, opening and closing occasionally, and 'looking' left and right at everybody in the room.

Tori pondered the movements and wondered what she could be. "Are you some kind of animal?" It was a total guess.

Door nods and grins happily, then thinks on how to specify further.

She wanders over to one of the potted plants in the corner of the Common Room and begins 'eating' the leaves with her hand.

"A dinosaur!" Molly called.

Door gives the sign for 'close' but shakes her head.

She mimes eating more leaves, then traces the other hand allllllllll the way down her raised arm to her throat. Which she covers with her palm, and then shakes her head again.

Okay, it was an animal. Now what animals ate leaves?

"Kangaroo?"

Door shakes her head and does the throat-touching/head-shaking no-talky motion that she made for Molly.

Hrm. "Are you a giraffe?"

Door nods happily and then makes the 'weetiny' sign by peering at her pinched thumb and forefinger.

~~And this time she does it from her own account.~~

"A tiny giraffe?"

Door nods and makes the 'cloooose but not quite' motion with those same two fingers.

Tori bit her lip in concentration and then it was as if a lightbulb turned on, over her head.

"Is it a weetiny giraffe?" She had her about that weekend. She wished she had been there to see everything.

[OOC: Bedtime for me! Pick up in the morning?]

Door nods again, but frowns at trying to get the exact word across. Then she remembers the tiny statuette hanging about her neck, from DAMM class.

She pulls the chain off her neck and sets the little boar/bull/~~cheap BBC props department rarr~~ on a table. She sketches the shape of a life-sized one in the air, then points to the tiny statue on the table.

[OOC: Yup! *zonks out*]

"Miniature giraffe?" Tori guesses from what Door had just acted out.

"Lighthouse?" Wyatt said randomly.

Door stares at him, until it occurs to her how he could've thought of that. Then she shakes her head and 'eats' more leaves from the potted plant.

"Giraffe?" Wyatt said.

Door grins widely and nods! But then she holds up one hand to indicate that there's more.

Her giraffe-hand eats a few more leaves, then she crouches down on the floor, 'neck' still reaching up and trying to eat more leaves.

"Baby giraffe?" Wyatt said, peering at Door.

Door mimes rocking a baby and shakes her head, then just holds up her thumb and index finger very close together - in front of her eye, as if she's having to peer at whatever she's holding.

"Wee tiny giraffe?" Wyatt said, puzzled.

Door smiles widely and nods, but gives him the 'come on, almost there' sign to show that it's not quite the right word.

"Miniature giraffe?" Wyatt offered up, running out of ideas.

Door claps. "Yes!" Then she slaps her hand over her mouth, because that's not all. The other bit's harder, though.

She points to herself, then mimes opening a door. Then she does the giraffe again and points to it with the other hand.

"Okay, you got me," Wyatt said. "You're leaving the miniature giraffe in your room?"
